I was just wondering if it may be possible to go into labor earlier since my pregnancies were back to back. I know they like to give your body time to get back in shape before you get pregnant again, and I didn't, and was wondering if there was any moms out there with back to back pregnancies and if their second baby had come earlier than the first?

I got pregnant with Lydia when Celeste was 7 mos old. I went 12 days past due with Lydia, but it was my fastest labor by far. I got pregnant with William when Lydia was 8 mos old. William was 8 days late.

My oldest two are 14 months apart and I went 26 days overdue with my second and had a longer labour... So it didn't work for me. However my third (17 months after #2) came 28 days early with a really fast labour.

Well, my first two are 10 months apart & I went into labor at 24 weeks with my 2nd. Luckily with bedrest & medication she stayed in there until 39 weeks. They never found a reason for the preterm labor & my OB thought it was most likely due to the fact that the pregnancies were so close. However, dd2 & dd3 are 12 months apart & dd3 was full term with no preterm labor at all. I think the most important thing to remember when having back to back pg's is to take really good care of yourself because your body is under a lot of extra strain, especially if you are nursing. So rest when your baby rests & make sure to eat well & exercise.

Yeah...I'm not the only one! I'll also be having mine 14 months apart! My dd turns 1 on Thursday, and her brother is due exactly two weeks after that! She came one day early, but we'll see how this one goes! I am thinking either 2 weeks early, or 2 weeks late.....I don't really believe the doctor's due date, and since I was still nursing full-time when I got pregnant, I have no clue when that could have been (also add in sleep deprived!)
